Freaky Animal Furniture (UPDATE)

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Animal Chair Collection by Maximo Riero Brings Wildlife Home

— September 7, 2011 — Unique
Maximo Riero is an artist with over 30 years experience in the game, but it's hard to imagine any of his previous works topping the sheer originality or strangeness of his Animal Chair Collection.

The Animal Chair Collection features different pieces of furniture designed to look like a diverse range of creatures, including an octopus, a walrus, a lion, a beetle, and a rhino. The chairs are all black, and quite ominous looking. They seem well suited as furniture for your creepiest relative or any haunted house.

One of the most impressive things about Maximo Riero's Animal Chair Collection is his attention to detail. The octopus has its tentacles stretch far and wide. The rhino's horns are prominent and realistic. The walrus' fins are formidable.

It's pretty safe to say that Maximo Riero has hit his artistic pinnacle with the Animal Chair Collection. It stands as one of the most unique (and fun) forms of furniture I've ever seen. Take a look through the gallery to see what I mean.
